[Vision2020] Sojourners' looks for help from Council

[Moscow Cares]

Your comment doesn't make sense, Mr. Keim.

Earlier you suggested that meetings may be taking place "behind the scenes".  Now, you suggest that a delayed public city council discussion of this matter (a matter that came to the public light on May 1st) may be because "process must be followed".

Why not schedule this item for discussion at the July 5th (two months after this matter went public) city council session?

Seeya 'round town, Moscow, because . . .

>>> It's almost as though I foresaw this, and hinted at it! Sojourners' will temporarily close its doors August 30 regardless of city speed.  Any city money will help it re-open in November.  Give the city time to work its process, Tom.  Better a good and thorough decision, than a hasty and regretted one.
